I've been thinking about this a little bit. It's been getting easier to understand both sides because I'm 35. Grew up with computers and the dawn of the internet, but getting older and closer to the age where not giving a shit starts to happen.
So, this past 4th of July (U.S. Independence Day), I went to visit my dad who has a house on the lake. I took my husband and 2 young boys. My dad took my oldest out fishing and then we all took turns on the Mable while my dad drove his boat.
After we were done for the day, he asked my brother to help him hook up his new computer to his old printer. My brother ended up not doing it because he was grilling burgers for dinner, so my husband volunteered and got it done.
I think this dynamic works perfectly. My dad knows how to drive a boat, teach fishing to my son, and can provide access to a lakehouse that I would not have access to otherwise.
In return, my husband can spend 5-10 minutes hooking up his printer.
Sure, my dad could google it. He could spend a little more time learning the ins and outs of hooking it up. But he just spent all day with us out on the lake. He let us go around in his boat. He was sharing his passions with us.
And I can understand that after a day of being out on the water, you just don't feel like figuring all that computer shit out. To you and me, it's as simple as googling the printer software. To my 60 year old dad, it's "well, where the hell do I start?"
Now, as I'm getting older, I'm finding I just don't have the energy of figuring out all that stuff anymore. I have other shit to do too. Cook, clean, pay bills. Man, it sure would be nice if someone else could figure out why the heck my computer is freaking out over there.
When I was in high school and college, I sure felt smart when my parents would ask me to do computer stuff. I was glad to do it to show off my "intelligence." As you get older, you start finding that you don't feel that way anymore. You're more interested in delegating your problems than figuring them all out.
Anyway. Of course, it depends on the computer problem. It's worth learning if it's something you run into everyday. But if it's something you only do once in a while (like connecting your printer), I don't think it's such a big deal to delegate it to someone else.
Yeah, that's a hard one. You can't put holes on bottom/sides/back, so you only have the top... and the front.
Top is ideal heat-wise. But that's pretty destructive, especially for a built-in.
So instead - I'd work on those doors. I'd find very wide, short rectangle louvers/grills. Basically they'll go along the bottom of the cabinet doors. If they're dark, you won't notice them too much at first glance. You could also go for a couple round ones, might even be a neat design feature.
For louvers, something like this (but very wide & short):

Or round:

Paint those black/brown to blend in.
I'd also make new doors to do all this in. It's more work, but it'll be much better to just throw on the old ones if/when you change things in the future. It's a rectangle, then cut the holes where you mount the hinges (probably need a forstner bit or similar). Then stain the front, add handle. It's a bit of work, but not too bad.
Last detail - heat will collect at top and want to escape. Ideally you'll have outlet at top of door, and inlet at bottom. If you can't do that, you can try some kind of "guide" - basically a way to force air from the top to go out your exhaust (which is on the bottom of the door). That'll be tricky, I'd probably make a slot/port type of thing (ie. a square tube going from top to bottom).
I can mock all this up if you want. If you're ok drilling the top, that'll be by far the easiest. If you want very good cooling & non-destructive, it'll be a bit of work.
